Hi, I'm Monica - I'm a portrait photographer & artist based in San Diego in Southern California and this is 15th Street Photography & Design, also known as Del Mar Beach Portraits.
I create artwork for you from the priceless candid interactions I capture while on location together with you & your loves.

Based out of Southern California, my team and I love to travel both near and far, so let us know if you love what you see here and want to take us with you :)

About Our Clients (about YOU!): I'm moved that my clients let me into their lives so I can capture their love & personalities at our fine art portrait & lifestyle photo shoots, which are loads of fun by the way. My face hurts from smiling so much! They're always so fun, so loving with each other, and so appreciative of the art we create together! My clients are the best!Best San Diego Family Photographer, Best San Diego Portrait Photographer, San Diego Family Photographer, San Diego Family Portraits, San Diego Children's Portraits, La Jolla Family Portraits, La Jolla Senior Portraits, Newport Beach Family Portraits, California Vacation Portraits, Beach Portraits

We'll collaborate on what you're looking for mixed with my spin on things. Planning photo shoots is fun!

And for the candid lifestyle shots, you'll quickly forget all about trying to pose and you'll just have fun :)

For Personal Branding, High End Maternity Portraits, some Senior Portraits & Family Portraits, we will work on natural & elegant posing tips in order to create stunning fine works of art for your family to enjoy for all time :)Children's Family Portrait Photographer San Diego Del Mar BeachChild Family Portrait Photographer San Diego Del Mar Beach

Relaxed & Happy, your Southern California Beach Photo Shoot itself is a great experience and will be a great memory!

We'll capture a lot of candids as well as create stunning fine art pieces from all the different interactions and experiences we have during the photo shoot. Every experience and outcome will be as unique as you, our location, and what nature provides for us on your particular day!

For California Vacation Beach Portraits, the experience of your photo shoot will be part of your vacation memories. I will take you to hidden treasure-like spots, provide tourist information to you, and preserve your memories in the form of stunning heirloom art pieces.

After the strongest images are selected, then I'll make technical edits, artistic edits, spend lots of time & love creating art from them, and finally will very naturally perform professional retouching to skin etc. to bring out the best of everyone's natural beauty. Then we'll schedule an appointment where I'll present your artwork to you for your review.

We'll have a consultation meeting to plan all the details! Email is great. We can chat on the phone - it's great to hear a voice. I'm happy to meet over coffee, walk on the beach in Del Mar, or at frozen yogurt or the park if you have little people that need to run free while we talk about your ideas for your portraits. Lots of our meetings are at a local Starbucks! We'll talk artistic vision for your children's portrait photo shoot, senior portrait photo shoot, family portrait photo shoot, maternity portrait photo shoot, California Beach Vacation portrait photo shoot, couples portrait photo shoot, or personal branding head shots. We'll fine tune location and time details, look at inspirational poses and clothing pictures, etc. and solidify plans and ideas.

Please plan ahead for your San Diego or Southern California portrait photo shoot or California Vacation Beach Portraits. We book out 3-12+ months in advance. Also, play waaay ahead if you are wanting to book a portrait session in another state or country :)

The great thing is that you can get your holiday portraits (and even senior portraits and engagement announcements, etc.) created while you're on a weekend getaway or a family vacation to San Diego or Southern California. Just plan your portraits into your trip and it's one more thing you can cross off you list when the senior ad deadlines (usually Sept/Oct) and holiday card orders are due! (That means if you're a high school Junior, you need to have your portraits created the Spring of Junior year, or Summer before Senior year!)

Tip for Choosing your portrait photographer: Find someone who's work you LOVE. You don't want to end up with "ok" portraits or "ok" memories! Next, make sure you talk with your photographer and that you think you will be able to trust them and relax with them, as that will show in your facial expressions & body language. Finally, work out your budget and any financing needed so that you can get yourself on their schedule right away & capture those priceless moments for all time!

Portrait Session and Product Pricing will depend on the level of customization of your photo shoot / art commission, the number of people being photographed, the number of portraits you choose, the size of your art, the material you choose to print on - basically: which products you want and how many you want!

We'll collaborate to determine the best options & products for your portrait photography wishes and needs.

We are super friendly, artistic (both in outlook & in formal training), fun, reasonable, and extremely skilled at what we do, and we want to meet you! Get in touch today!

The video below is an example of a Del Mar & La Jolla California family vacation beach portrait photo shoot experience. This was created from two different beaches & portrait photography sessions here in San Diego during a family vacation to California. This video & the portraits resulting from the fun photo shoot experience are part of the family's memories of their California vacation in Del Mar and La Jolla.

Consider having your portraits created on your next California beach family vacation!
